Workers of Byblos were with you,
    putting caulk[a] in your ship’s seams.
All the ships of the sea and their sailors
    came alongside to trade with you.

10 “‘Men of Persia, Lydia, and Put
    were warriors in your navy
and hung their shields and helmets on your sides.
    They made you look beautiful.
11 Men of Arvad and Cilicia
    guarded your city walls all around.
Men of Gammad
    were in your watchtowers
and hung their shields around your walls.
    They made your beauty perfect.
